Chapter 236 True God-Slaying Magic and the Sublimation of Domains
God-Slaying Magic.
This is a magic that Shirou Kotomine had been thinking about for a long time.
After all, its reputation is simply too terrifying.
Destroy the gods!
Upon hearing this name, one can't help but think of Dragon Slayer Magic, as if mastering this magic to its fullest extent would allow one to slay gods.
But this is not possible.
In Kotomine Shirou's view, the so-called God-Slaying Magic is actually just a copy of Dragon-Slaying Magic.
It's just a lost magic that looks a lot like dragon slaying magic, and is incredibly powerful.
After all, dragons are real in the Fairy Tail world.
But God is only known by name, and his image is never seen.
Gods may truly exist in this world, but Shirou Kotomine doesn't believe that so-called God-Slaying Magic can be as effective as Dragon-Slaying Magic.
After all, the internal structure of Dragon Slayer Magic is extremely sophisticated.
The so-called dragon-slaying magic is essentially about using dragons to kill dragons.
In the past, dragons were powerful, unmatched by human mages.
Thus, Dragon Slayer Magic came into being. First, one obtains the power of dragons, and then continuously assimilates oneself through the power of dragons, evolving oneself in the direction of dragons, thereby gaining the ability to contend with dragons.
This is Dragon Slayer Magic.
It is complete in both concept and structure.
But the so-called God-Slaying Magic is completely different.
Following the logic of Dragon Slayer Magic, the most important aspect of God Slayer Magic is obtaining divine power.
But in this world, you will almost never see any gods.
Moreover, the cultivation of the God-Slaying Magic does not require divine power at all.
Unlike Dragon Slayer Magic, which requires acquiring dragon-related power to master, God Slayer Magic can be mastered out of thin air. However, it is extremely difficult to master, so very few people can do it.
As far as Shirou Kenzō knows, the Council of Gods possesses the magic of destroying gods.
Furthermore, they paid no attention to the magic books that contained the magic to destroy gods.
Because the difficulty of cultivation is simply too high.
Despite the difficulty, in Shirou Kotomine's memory there were still three mages who had practiced God-Slaying Magic.
But what about Dragon Slayer Mages?
Aside from Natsu and other Dragon Slayer Mages who came from four hundred years ago, those who can truly master Dragon Slayer Magic in this era all rely on the magic crystals left behind after the dragons die to cultivate.
This is the true core of Dragon Slayer Magic.
But the God-Slaying Magic lacks this core.
In Kotomine Shirou's view, God-Slaying Magic was created by ancient mages with profound magical skills, using Dragon-Slaying Magic as a template.
Because it allows one to obtain combat power comparable to a true Dragon Slayer Mage without needing the power of a dragon.
Therefore, this magic requires a high level of talent from the practitioner.
Even so, practitioners of this magic fall behind true Dragon Slayer Mages in the later stages because they cannot obtain the core of Dragon Slayer Magic, the Dragon Power.
Considering that the legendary creator of this magic is Zeref, the pinnacle of magic in the Fairy Tail world, this is entirely possible.
Therefore, this is not true god-slaying magic.
But at this moment, Shirou Kotomine wants to embark on the true path of God-Slaying Magic.
Based on Dragon Slayer Magic.
Assimilate yourself through the divine power of Ereshkigal, and transform yourself into a divine life form.
In the past, Shirou Kotomine had also considered this path.
But even then, he couldn't obtain divine power.
But at this moment, the power of the gods could no longer stop him.
"However, let's put this matter aside for now. We'll study this magic together after Ereshkigal awakens."
.
"After all, no one knows more about gods than the real gods themselves."
Kotomine Shirou thought to himself.
With Ereshkigal's assistance, the path will obviously be much smoother.
This is a matter of efficiency.
At this time, Shirou Kotomine placed great emphasis on efficiency.
"However, the matter of the God-Slaying Magic can wait, but preparations can begin now regarding the 'rule of the Great World by all spirits.'"
Shirou Kotomine is preparing to upgrade his domain.
The ability to expand one's domain is one that Shirou Kotomine developed in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
The world of Jujutsu Kaisen features many cool and powerful abilities.
However, the actual effect was not as dangerous as imagined.
Its destructive power was not as great as imagined.
According to Shirou Kotomine, the root cause is a problem with the underlying architecture that supports these capabilities.
That is the power of incantation.
Regarding magical power, this ability is indeed at a very high level.
In Kotomine Shirou's view, the same amount of cursed power is stronger than magic power.
However, the power of incantation has a major flaw.
It cannot accumulate too much.
This means that in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, powerful abilities often have less destructive power than expected.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine believes that the abilities he obtained from the Jujutsu Kaisen world can be transformed into abilities from other systems, thereby greatly increasing their power.
For example, expanding the scope of a field.
How big can even the largest field be expanded to?
It's actually not that big.
These are all defects in the power of the curse.
Of course, this cannot be called a deficiency in spell power, but rather a deficiency in the spellcasters themselves.
Shirou Kotomine wants to elevate the domain into a Reality Marble, and ultimately evolve it into a real world.
If it could be elevated to the level of the underworld.
Then Shirou Kotomine might be able to transform Tiamat.
As for the difficulty of elevating it to a global level, that is naturally extremely high.
However, for Shirou Kotomine, who has a profound understanding of spatial manipulation, this is a challenge worth taking, but also a possibility of success.
"In short, there are still many projects worth taking on."
Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but sigh.
"Never mind, I'll stop thinking about this for now."
"I'd better start preparing for tomorrow's training session with Marcus and Leqi."
Kotomine Shirou's lips curled up slightly.
He's really looking forward to the training that's coming up.
the next morning.
It wasn't five o'clock yet, and the sky was still dark.
But Marcus and Lucky had already arrived at the Fairy Tail guild.
"You two are here pretty early."
As he slowly descended from the second floor, Shirou Kotomine said with a smile.
"Good morning, President."
Marcus and Leqi greeted each other in unison.
The two were full of energy, their expressions revealing excitement.
This pleased Shirou Kotomine.
"Good morning, you two. Since you've arrived early, let's begin your training ahead of schedule."
""
"And this is what you need to do first."
Under the expectant gazes of Marcus and Leqi, Shirou Kotomine handed them two stacks of papers.
"well?"
Looking at the contents of the paper, Marcus and Leqi couldn't help but stiffen.
These were actually two thick stacks of exam papers.
The two stacks of exam papers contained a variety of questions about magical knowledge.
"President, what's this?"
Faced with the two stacks of exam papers, both Marcus and Leqi couldn't help but look at Kotomine Shirou.
"As you can see, this is the exam I have prepared for you."
"I hope to test your theoretical level through this exam."
Kotomine Shirou explained truthfully.
Magic, as a training system, has never been something that can be achieved by brute force.
It requires systematic learning and continuous research to discover.
Of course, there are indeed some geniuses who always rely on intuition when using magic, and their combat power always increases in leaps and bounds rather than gradually.
Such people are often protagonists.
But even such people have an extremely solid foundation.
It was precisely because of their solid foundation that their later growth was so smooth.
The members of Fairy Tail all had a very solid foundation under Makarov's tutelage.
But not everyone is like Natsu, who can grow through instinct in battle.
Under normal circumstances, a mage's improvement still requires learning and research.
Like the magic in the Fairy Tail world, each type of magic here is actually a separate system, filled with all sorts of unique structures.
And each person is unique.
Therefore, all powerful mages continuously improve their magical skills and then use these skills to subtly modify the magic they have learned.
Through these subtle modifications, the magic became more adapted to his body.
Only in this way can one truly master this magic completely.
To advance further, one needs to modify their magic even more, changing and elevating it in the direction they desire.
This can even lead to magical imprints being placed in the bloodline, causing offspring to awaken their powers.
This is why the same magic can have such different effects depending on who uses it.
Although the magic they use appears to be the same magic in appearance and basic structure, the internal workings of the magic they practice are no longer the same.
Putting aside other examples, let's take Erza and Mirajane, the two genius female mages from Fairy Tail, as examples.
Both costume-changing magic and receiving magic are actually very ordinary types of magic.
There are countless people in the magic world who can use these two spells.
But why are only the two of them able to reach this level?
Erza doesn't need much; she's always been in the top tier in every version, almost never falling behind.
Mirajane wasted some time because of her sister, which caused her to fall behind Erza.
But this still cannot erase the aura of her genius.
Although the ability to receive magic is related to the strength of the monsters one can receive, why was Mirajane able to receive demonic power when she was young?
Elfman, who is also a key member of Fairy Tail, cannot even control the power of the Beast King.
This is the gap.
They're all the same kind of magic.
Therefore, the magical world of Fairy Tail is a paradise for geniuses.
And because magic is so prevalent in this world, geniuses emerge in droves.
Therefore, for any mage, the accumulation of corresponding magical skills is essential.
This is also why the leaders of powerful guilds are all strong individuals.
Because only the strong have the ability to cultivate new talent.
Someone who's only half-baked in magic can't possibly train new talent.
Without new members, this guild has no future.
Of course, due to the widespread use of magic, there are occasional genius mages like Natsu who rely on their intuition.
They can use their intuition to modify magic to make it more closely resemble their own state.
Such geniuses are envied by others.
But neither Marcus, nor Leqi, nor even Shirou Kotomine himself are this type of genius.
Therefore, they all need to learn.
That's how it is with Shirou Kotomine.
Marcus and Lucky were the same.
Before teaching Marcus and Rachel about magic, Shirou Kotomine needs to first understand their own magical abilities.
In this way, Shiro Kotomine can teach according to students' individual needs.
So, let's start writing.
"yes!"
Although it was somewhat unexpected, Marcus and Leqi still found seats without hesitation and began answering the questions.
While they were answering questions, Shirou Kotomine found a seat and began to take out a pen and paper to write and draw.
He was calculating how to analyze the spells in the battle and then learn them.
This was the goal he set last night.
Now that he has the time, he naturally won't stop.
It is foreseeable that in the next seven years, learning and research will be something that Shiro Kotomine cannot escape.
Therefore, he seizes every moment.
"I've finished writing, President."
"I've finished writing too, President."
After some time, Marcus and Rachel's voices roused Shirou Kotomine from his thoughts.
Seeing that the two were standing beside him, Kotomine Shirou guessed that one of them must have finished early and hadn't come to bother him immediately.
Instead, they waited until the other person had finished writing before submitting their papers together.
"Come on, let me see your exam papers."
Shirou Kotomine took the exam papers from Marcus and Rachel, but instead of grading them immediately, he looked out the window.
"It's already dawn. Perfect, why don't you go for a run first?"
"As a mage, physical training can never stop."
Kotomine Shirou said with a smile.
"Yes, then where should we go for a run?"
Marcus asked quickly.
He usually exercises regularly, and upon receiving this order, he couldn't help but become more proactive.
"Let's run a lap around the town first."
Kotomine Shirou said without hesitation.
"ah!?"
"Run a lap around Magnolia?"
Marcus and Leigh were immediately dumbfounded when Shirou Kotomine explained.
That is Magnolia.
How long would it take to run around it once?
The two of them could hardly believe it.
"That's right, it's Magnolia. Go on, run a lap to warm up first."
"I said with a smile."
But to the two of them, the sound seemed like the low murmur of a demon from hell.
But they dared not defy the devil before them.
They could only turn around and run towards the outside of Magnolia.
Watching the two figures gradually disappear, Shirou Kotomine raised the corners of his mouth.
How can a Fairy Tail mage not train their body?
After all, mages in this world often engage in close combat.
Leaving aside the top experts for now.
Because the core members of these guilds are not yet fully proficient in all aspects of magic, they can only focus on developing their skills in a specific area.
At this point, close combat can make up for most of their weaknesses.
Let's leave Erza aside for now.
Even a summoner like Lucy has a superb whip technique to make up for her shortcomings.
In short, regardless of the type of training, Shirou Kotomine intends to start with the most basic physical exercises.
